What was your experience like on the Brathay residential trip?
My best experience so far was the weekend in Brathay. Since then I travelled around quite a bit in the UK: Liverpool, Edenborough and London. However Brathay was more memorable. Being together with new people in a new environment and being forced to work together was so rewarding.
